Somewhere in that process, the stress just melts away. I also get lost within the pages of a really good book, if I can.Alisa Renee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/02239369410305008391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-65078683209544799082012-07-03T03:52:58.664-04:002012-07-03T03:52:58.664-04:00I write, I clean, I sleep, I do art, I cry if it a...I write, I clean, I sleep, I do art, I cry if it all gets too much.

Here's the recipe, which is quite simple but fairly large, so you may want to cut it in half:<br /><br />2 cans V-8<br />6 cucumbers - peeled & seeded, diced very fine<br />1 lg. bell pepper, diced very fine<br />3 stalks celery, diced very fine<br />1/2 c. Balsamic vinegar<br />1 tsp. chopped garlic<br />4 jalapenos, diced very fine<br />handful chopped green onions<br />1 bunch chopped cilantro<br /><br />Stir together and add salt & pepper to taste.<br /><br />If too thin, add a few more veggies ~ if too thick, a little more V-8.<br /><br />To make it REALLY special, add 3 chopped avocadoes!<br /><br />I have been enjoying your blog SO MUCH for a couple of months,but am a little shy about commenting. The gazpacho request motivated me! I thank you for your beautiful writing and your compassion for patients.lulumariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951594259193037282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-66738372205812546452012-07-02T18:06:30.944-04:002012-07-02T18:06:30.944-04:00http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/06/gazpach...http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/06/gazpacho/ <br />That should take you to the gazpacho recipe, blog version and short version.

I do have this low grade anxiety whenever I get off of wards. The change of pace is too abrupt. But the good news is that writing always feels like therapy. I'm preaching to the choir I know. <br /><br />No gazpacho recipe? You?! Refuse to believe that.<br /><br />The workout was awesome. I ran on a treadmill at theYMCA to some old school James Taylor and Carol King. Now all I need is gazpacho and my laptop! <br /><br />You'll be pleased when you see my downtime photos--coming soon.

That is the joy of gazpacho. <br /><br />And I know that low-stress feeling well. I think, if you examine it closely, you may find that it is actually anxiety. It is for me, anyway. Exercise is good but despite what the Exercise Cures All people say, it doesn't take care of it entirely. Again, that's my experience. <br />Staying busy. How trite. But true. <br /><br />Please keep reminding yourself that YOU NOT ONLY DESERVE SOME DOWN TIME, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO YOUR WELLBEING AND THE WELLBEING OF YOUR FAMILY AND PATIENTS AND STUDENTS FOR YOU TO GET IT!!!!!<br />Okay?Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
